Well, because they claim that the Bible, to begin with, has been translated too many times (they have claimed sometimes that it's a translation of translation) and has lost much of its accuracy. Therefore, the KJV is much more accurate in their esteem than are newer versions. Additionally it was the KJV which Joe Smith plagiarized for his Book of Mormon and his later "Inspired Version" of the Bible. So they need the Bible to read the same way their other stuff reads.

Nope, They don't consider it plagiarism. The claim is that God could certainly have the same thing in the BOM as in the Bible. Of course my question is, how does translating "reformed Egyptian" into English come out EXACTLY like translating Greek into English?
